Dr. Jodie Lockey-Duesling

I’m a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), I hold a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. 

In addition to these roles, I also enjoy teaching and am currently a Faculty Member with Fanshawe College. I have completed front-line intensive therapy for over fifteen years, working in domestic violence, developmental disorders, concurrent disorders, justice systems, CMHA-BHN, and Wilfrid Laurier University.

I have been a senior manager for nine years in multiple programs. I have developed three new counselling and treatment programs at multiple agencies and have been counselling now for fourteen years. I specialize in disordered eating, grief, hoarding, trauma, concurrent disorders, sexual abuse, and am certified in CBT, DBT, ACT, MBSR, MBCT, LLTF, Narrative therapy, and many more!

I have presented Nationally and Internationally on DBT for post-secondary students, been on TV multiple times to speak about trauma and other topics and been in the Communique Magazine for an article on emotion regulation. I have developed over seventy-five specialized counselling groups and provided counselling to all different clients. A bottom-up approach to counselling has been proven to be effective for inner child healing, trauma work, and somatic processing. Therefore, the majority of the work I do is trauma-related, specifically, EMDR, Neuro Feedback, inner child, reparenting, Polyvagal, Somatic Stress Release, and more.

As a Registered Social Worker, my areas of focus include:
Trauma | Psychosis | Spectrum Disorders | Personality Disorders

If you’re ready to get started, I always offer a 15-min consult to see if we are a good fit. I’d love to help you, a friend, or a member of your family get the help they need to live better.
